82 Megapixel Spider - _TNY_0729

The European garden spider (Araneus diadematus) has several English names. It's also known as the diadem spider (hence diadematus), crowned orb-weaver, cross spider and serveral variations on those.

 

Regardless of name, it is a very beautiful spider which come in lots of colour varaitions.

 

This particular one is a female and hade made a large web behid the door to my mother-in-law's green house.

 

Originally, this was shot in portrait mode. Not the fake-bokeh-crap in mobile phones, but as in portait and not landscape.

 

People looking at photos on Flickr don't seem to like shots like that though so I turned it into a landscape shot in post in Photoshop, which resulted in this being a whopping 11078x7385 (~82 megapixel!) in size so there are plenty of detail to zoom in on.
